Heard on the radio driving back from the game that Villa’s take over took just 6 days. Apparently the new owners went in with 30 accountants to get it done quickly.
Jonathan Acworth? Where has he surfaced from? I recall him from back in the day, always insisting the club sign some unknown player from Tadworth United or some such. Always good for as laugh but wouldn't want to be insside his head!
Just been told by a member of staff that there was no staff briefing.
Ah that's more like it!
Genuinely amazed that people were getting carried away when all we had to go on was a tweet from Acworth who knows nothing, and a post on the Charlton facebook page which is full of absolute shite even at the best of times.
As if match day staff would be told anything!
Yeah but it was on Twitter which is always reliable and accurate.
Yeah and it was confirmed by Acworth so it’s gonna happen innit.
Bloke shouldn't be allowed out unaccompanied...and definitely not be allowed anywhere near a keyboard!

Take a look at Martyn Don Ounstead on twitter (a 'source' of rumour)- joined February 18 - he hasn't tweeted yet and has 0 followers and following 0 people. Top source
I know him. His daughter worked for me when I was in Finance. let’s just say I wouldn’t pin your hopes on what he says!!

For ages on Facebook he was vocally very pro the regime and abusively anti everything about CARD and any form of protesting. Complete twat. Funnily enough, eventually became quiet on the subject when his Roland love in didn't turn out the success he thought.
Yeah, but lets rein it in a little about Ackworth. He may not be reliable itk material, but he loves Charlton, and is never seen digging out other fans. Just sayin...

Is anyone here an accountant??
Loads. Allegedly 57% of all Charlton fans are accountants, the other 44% are not.
I've been informed that there isn't a takeover, and the rats live feed is infact linked to Charlton life, so he can drink his wine and laugh as we all debate, arguing and fight against each other.
I had a few beers, watched us win, had a curry, more beer, sat down to watch a film and then I read our torment is coming to and end. Only then to realise some freak has done a real good job at winding me up.It took the gloss off a great day. Some people lead such strange lives, winding up strangers they will never meet let alone know of. If they were eleven years old I’d understand but this individual is an adult and for many years been living in a fantasy land.

In a recent survey, 6 out 7 dwarves weren't Happy
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

He always used to phone up Charlton Live on RTM with Mark Mansfield saying he'd seen the next Pele playing for Erith and Belvedere or some other equally low level side. Steve Portway was his hero.

I thought he was too busy buying gold to send tweets....
Rumour yesterday was started by a tweet saying it was said at a staff briefing. @Henry Irving later said there was no staff briefing. However, I’m sure the stewards have a briefing meeting before every game so it could well have eminated from that

No one is briefing the stewards about a takeover. Why would they?

I don’t know, and I don’t believe there to be any ‘fact’ in what is said. But I’m just stating that I’m sure stewards have a briefing meeting pre game, I’m sure the potential for protests and how to react were discussed, and it’s possible an incorrect or misunderstood comment emanated from that.

The way this ‘takeover’ has gone so far it wouldn’t surprise me if it was in their contracts that they have to be consulted and get the final say...

Roland is selling the club to the stewards ...... ?
Beat me to it Henry. The staff member I have knowledge off has no idea about anything takeover. The sort of person who would know if it was told to staff.
Where do they work? The original tweet referred to academy staff.

Totally agree - why would they
but as an aside, and in an early example of the now ubiquitous penny pinching and cost-saving exercises, the main reception phones were being manned by a single junior security steward when I phoned the club sometime last year.
Needless to say, he had no idea how to transfer my call. I know that these days we are meant to have transferable skills in our workplace - but really?
Not saying it's true, but 're. the stewards briefing - I don't think anyone is suggesting they need to be told, but the rumour could've been that something was said during the safety talk before the match along the lines of "You may or may not be aware, but it's comimg from the top that the takeover will be completed next week, so this weekend should be the last for any potential disturbances (protests) relating to the current owner".
Again, I'm not saying that happened, but I think that is in the context of the rumour started

There we go...it'll be all over twitter now that a CL mod has just confirmed the takeover.

You know you’re proper Charlton when:
1. You ignore everything that Ackworth says; and
2. You size up Train no. 2056834748659.

Honestly, there does not feel like a end to this.
